08.1.2016

The RAD Studio Stroll, in its 22 year, will be held on Saturday & Sunday, November 12 & 13, 2016, 10am to 5pm both days... while you can come visit most of the studios pretty much any day of any week all year long, there are some studios that are only open during Studio Stroll... there is a free trolley so park and leave the car behind while you explore the incredible variety of mediums and styles, all called ART. You will need to bring the checkbook or credit card if you want to take it home!

On the last Saturday of the month, May thru October 2016, come on down to the Salvage Station for the Flea For Ya'll... the biggest and baddest flea market since the Dreamland Drive In shut down. Buy, Sell, what ever is of interest... a great addition to the River Arts District!

The Asheville Parks & Greenways Foundation funded a study in November 2014 to explore the feasibility of constructing a White Water feature in the French Broad River. The report, just out, suggests that it is possible and recommends the location between the Craven Street & Jeff Bowen Bridges here in the ARAD. See Boise, Idaho to get the gist. Is this a good fit for the ARAD? let your elected officials know!
